I think that the 'Alien' has always been my most feared from the very first time I saw it. I've always struggled with all the 'Alien' games I've ever played. There is just something about them.

I'm with the Alien: Isolation chorus here. Brilliant game, but I wasn't up to it. Oh well, I'm off to play through Jedi Fallen Order again.

Silent Hill is another one. Playstation 1, 1999. I found the control and camera work clumsy.

Failed to find HOI4 fun too, not getting planned frontlines to manage themselves resulting in tiresome micromanagment and lategame just drains any remains of fun - I think there is way too many units in general (like some 50 unit stacks).
Another one I had big hopes for was Cold Waters, never got into the campaign format and with that small skirmish short missions is all I do once every 2 months.

Elite Dangerous, etc. I just could not get into it, so shoot me.

Shadow of Mordor, another clunker, IMHO

Subnautica, very disappointing

I love Alien Isolation. However I had a real hard time with it at firs too because of how scary and tense it was. I was the same way Chucky. The first time the Xeno comes after at the very beginning I was so scared and did not know what to do and the intensifying music to the sound of the screaming Xeno coming closer paralyzed my ability to think and I did not know what to do. I just ran into the tram towards the back and stared at the tram wall like I was a kid trying to pretend away some nightmare. I eventually found some useful tips and stress management devices(mainly me shaking my fist at the Xeno when it catches me) that really helped me through the game. If anyone needs some tips let me know. Eventually you get accustomed to the sort of routine of the game play and how the Alien AI works. Its sort of tethered to the player. The game though has many wonderful surprises that has you contending with other individuals and entities and not just the Xeno. There are levels of respite from the Xeno which gives you some breathing room. I finished the game three years ago and I'm about ready to play it for a second time and maybe on nightmare mode this time. I'd help you through the game Chucky if I could. AI deserves a sequel in my opinion.

I've been playing Colonial Marines and AvsP 2010 off an on too. I've been enjoying Colonial Marines. I stayed away from it at launch because of the terrible thing that it was according to most. I'm playing with TemplarFX's mod though which apparently fixes the game significantly. There are plenty of reviews of people who had the game at launch and so who know how bad it was and they say the mod makes it a totally new experience.

A game I've been real frustrated with is Quantum Break. I loved all the games from Remedy but the way they designed this game is terrible in my opinion. The main cusp of this game's story telling is through live action movies that actually play out differently depending on what choices you made in between during game play. Unfortunately these videos are somehow streamed from some other location. They are not downloaded in your game to your hard drive. My problem is, no matter how many times I've tried, when I go to click on the newly accessible cut scene, the videos refuse to stream. I get no response other than after a moment, the game just turns off and returns me to desktop. I hate this design. And its not like I can really go watch a Youtube video because what I see will likely not incorporate decisions I made in the game.

It is good, just not 30 hours worth of good. I would have been happy with 8 hours.

I myself didn't have a problem with how long it took to finish the game but I'd say the main reason why it takes about 30 hours is because you spend the vast majority of the time crouched and moving very slowly!

This is not a recent game. Metal Gear Solid on the Playstation 1. 1999? I got stuck and couldn't continue.

Combat Mission Black Sea

Clunky, tacky graphics, lame air support, bugs and to top it off had a credit card fraud attempt on the card a couple of weeks after I used it on their site.

Not accusing, just saying... The only other place it was used in the preceding weeks is owned by friends.

All's good though, that convinced me to start using virtual cards only on the web.

I decided to try Subnautica again and I seem to be getting on much better with it.

Last time I tried it, it was on an early build and felt unfinished,now it's looking very good.

My daughter and I have been playing Subnautica the past couple of weeks since we beat "Hello Neighbor," another great game. She loves to call the blinking box in the rescue pod the "beepy beep," and will remind me, "Dad! The beepy beep is blinking! Press it!"

Maybe you can help me Mr_Blastman. I just built the Seamoth and it was spawned on a sandbank and it won't move

*edit* Never mind,it annoyed me so much I re-started again. Oh,and I'm kinda hooked on the game now.

There's a gun you can build Chucky that propels objects, but maybe that's further down the line. Wait for high tide?




Same here, twice. And we are not the only ones. It's been brought up on Battlefront's forums, but I don't think anyone seems to think there is an issue.

Make sure you save from time to time too. I've had that big sucker grab me in my seamoth and destroy it leaving me in open water. I didn't want to have to re-collect resources and build a new one all over again so I just loaded the previous save.

Thanks Coot,I was getting so engrossed in the game I wasn't saving at all. I will be from now on

Also Alien Isolation,

I found the rubberbanding of the alien to the player annoying, and the diversion item system to opaque to be of use. It's a beautifully made game, but according to Steam i gave up after 9 hours. I still REALLY want to like this game, but those countermeasures...

Other games I recently tried and couldn't get into:
- Chroma Squad, because it was TOO inspired by Power Rangers and the side-objectives too frustrating.
- Crusader Kings II, tried it several occasions and I just couldn't get involved in the country I was building.
